This is the U.S. National Stage of PCT/EP 03/05021, filed May 14, 2003, which, in turn, claims the benefit of priority of invention based on DE 102 27 238.7, filed Jun. 19, 2002 in Germany.
The subject matter of the present invention includes cosmetic agents comprising two components covalently linked to each other and having functions that differ from one another, the first component being a peptidic linker molecule with high affinity or binding specificity for keratin-containing material and the second component being at least one cosmetic agent consisting of at least one cosmetically active compound known per se or a cosmetic effector molecule for the cosmetic treatment of keratin-containing material.
The combination of the invention finds general use in the cosmetic treatment of parts of the human or animal body that contain keratin and particularly as a hair-treating agent.
The targeted and in terms of quantity and method optimum use of cosmetic products is based on the idea of being able to apply the agents or materials in question in as efficient a manner as possible to the desired parts of the body and to exclude as much as possible other areas of the body.
To achieve this goal, three methods are available in principle. According to one method, the cosmetic agent exhibiting the desired action can be applied to the desired body site locally by means of appropriate mechanical aids, while at the same time covering the body areas with which the cosmetic agent in question is not to come in contact. This method, however, has the drawback that it allows one to reach only the directly accessible parts of the body, that contact with undesirable body sites can practically be difficult to avoid and that the handling of the method is awkward.
According to the second method, it is possible, based on certain chemical and biochemical/physiological properties, to select cosmetic agents that preferentially bind or adhere to certain structures (for example skin, hair, nails). The drawback of these methods is, in particular, that the use of these substances is highly restricted by their chemical nature so that the desired site-specific action of the cosmetic agent in question often does not occur in the hoped-for manner and that the material is not suited for cosmetic use.
As a third possibility, it has recently been proposed to use various antibodies with different specificity for cosmetic agents as vehicles for a targeted application of cosmetic agents. In this manner, by coupling with antibodies, the cosmetic agents are transported to the desired sites.
Such methods have, in particular, the drawback that the preparation of the antibodies is very expensive and that antibodies are relatively large, complicated and biologically active protein units the use of which, as is known, is not without problems from both a biochemical and a physiological standpoint.
The object of the present invention is to provide cosmetic agents and novel methods for cosmetic treatment that eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art.
This object is attained by providing a high-affinity cosmetic agent comprising two components that are covalently linked to each other and have functions that differ from one another, the first component being a peptidic linker molecule with high affinity or binding specificity for keratin-containing material, and the second component being at least one cosmetic agent consisting of at least one known organic cosmetically active compound or an organic cosmetically active effector molecule.
Surprisingly, we have now found that peptides with a chain length of between 2 and 30 amino acids, preferably between 6 and 15 amino acids and particularly between 6 and 12 amino acids, on the one hand, can bind specifically to keratin-containing material, particularly hair, and, on the other, can be linked with cosmetically active compounds in a manner such that with the said peptidic linker molecule the cosmetically active compound in question can be applied in advantageous manner to a keratin-containing material (particularly hair)
In this manner a cosmetic agent is obtained which consists of two components covalently linked to each other, namely a peptidic linker molecule with binding specificity for keratin or keratin-containing material, and at least one cosmetic agent bound thereto. The peptidic linker molecule acts as a binding agent and vehicle for the cosmetically active compound, it being possible for several cosmetically active compounds to be linked to the same peptidic linker. A cosmetic agent with high affinity for the keratin-containing material, particularly for animal and human hair, is obtained in this manner.
Another object of the present invention is the use of the cosmetic agent in question for cosmetic treatment of keratin-containing material and the use of the peptidic linker molecule in question and of the effector molecules for the preparation of a cosmetic agent with high affinity or binding specificity for keratin or keratin-containing material.
The cosmetic agent according to the present invention has numerous advantages. Particularly noteworthy among these is the targeted use of cosmetic agents (dyes, cosmetic care agents, conditioners) so that these agents can exert their action essentially only at certain desired sites of the body, particularly on hair. Moreover, in this manner it is possible to achieve a stronger and longer-lasting hold of the cosmetic agent at the application site, particularly hair, so that, depending also on the binding strength of the peptidic linker molecule, a controllable or controlled retention time or intensity of the cosmetic agent, for example a dye, can be attained. A lower quantitative consumption of the cosmetic agent in question can be pointed out as an additional advantage.
Moreover, with the cosmetic agent of the present invention, several advantageous properties can be combined in one and the same product. For example, an effector molecule with hair-care action can, via the peptidic linker, be linked with a hair dye molecule giving rise to a product that at the same time is a hair-care product and a hair colorant.
Also, the peptidic linker itself can have cosmetic care properties so that with even just a single binding, for example, of a color-producing effector molecule to a peptidic linker, it is possible to obtain products that at same time are cosmetic care-imparting products and colorants. Thus, the cosmetic agent of the invention can exhibit at least two different cosmetic actions.
Another advantage of the cosmetic agent of the invention is its very high variability which can also be controllable. For example, different peptidic linkers with different binding strengths for keratin-containing material can be linked with entirely different effector molecules, for example a surface-active substance and a hair dye. In this case, a cosmetic agent is provided in which the effector molecules, through the different binding properties of “their” peptidic linkers, can provide an individual retention time or individual properties at the site of application.
Furthermore, hair damaged by mechanical action (for example combing or rubbing), chemical action (for example dyeing, bleaching, waving, defrizzing) or physical action (UV radiation, weathering effects) can, compared to healthy hair, show different binding strengths and binding sites for the peptidic linker. In such cases, a cosmetic agent of the invention can bind preferentially to damaged areas of the hair, for example hair tips damaged by splicing, because the peptidic linker molecule binds preferentially and unusually strongly with a cosmetic-care effector molecule and/or a coloring effector molecule and/or an effector molecule acting as a UV filter.
From this, a person skilled in the art can clearly see the possibilities offered by the present invention of providing numerous cosmetic agents with advantageously combined properties.
By “keratin-containing material” are meant for purposes of the present invention the skin and skin appendages, for example scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, toenails and fingernails of the animal and human body.
By “peptidic linker molecule” are meant for purposes of the present invention polymers the monomers of which are amino acids connected to each other by the usual acid amide bonds. Said polymers can be of synthetic (prepared by total industrial synthesis), semisynthetic (obtained by partial synthesis and from natural sources) or natural origin, methods of preparation involving genetic engineering (for example the known methods of DNA recombination, phage-peptide libraries or phage display) being included. Suitable amino acids are both the L-and the D-amino acids as well as the amino acids modified by, for example, glycosylation (by methods that in themselves are known).
By “cosmetic agents” or “cosmetically active compounds” or “cosmetic effector molecules” are meant compounds, substances or molecules which are known to exert a cosmetic action on the surface of the animal or human body, particularly those with dyeing or coloring, cosmetic care-imparting, conditioning, protective, hardening, softening, repairing and/or reconstituting properties. In the following, the term “effector molecule” is used as a synonym for “cosmetic agent” or “cosmetically active agent”.
Thus, the present invention includes the use of a peptidic linker molecule and at least one organic cosmetically active effector molecule with dyeing or coloring, cosmetic care-imparting, conditioning, protective, hardening, softening, repairing and/or reconstituting property for preparing a cosmetic agent.
The coupling of a peptidic linker molecule with an effector molecule can be achieved by known chemical methods.
Preferred peptidic linker molecules are glycine or glycine derivatives which for binding to effector molecules contain appropriate heteroatoms or heteroatom groupings. Suitable glycine derivatives are the alpha-amino acids with at least three carbon atoms, the suitable heteroatoms or heteroatom groups, for example an amino, hydroxyl, sulfonyl or carboxyl group, preferably being attached to the terminal carbon atom.
Suitable effector molecules are preferably dyes or dye precursors containing a reactive group capable of forming a covalent bond with the heteroatoms or heteroatom groups.
Suitable reactive groups are, for example, the triazinyl, sulfatoethoxysulfonyl or vinylsulfonyl groups. It is also possible, however, to use as the reactive groups halopyrimidine, chloracetamide, carbamate, epoxide or methylol groups.
Suitable dye precursors are, for example, halonitroaromatic compounds such as 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, 2,6-dinitrofluorobenzene or 4-fluoro-3-nitroaniline.
The coupling reaction of an effector molecule can take place, for example, according to the following scheme. In this case which is used as an example, the effector molecule is a dye or dye precursor.
According to the following reaction scheme, glycine derivatives of formula I can be condensed with dyes or dye precursors RF-Y containing an appropriate reactive group to give dyes of formula II;
##STR00001##
wherein RF denotes a dye or dye precursor, RS denotes a hydrogen atom or a t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group, L denotes an alkylene group or phenylene group and X denotes an amino, hydroxyl or sulfonyl group, and Y is selected from among a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br) or one of the following atomic groupings:
##STR00002##
wherein Rx, Ry and Rz independently of each other denote F, Cl, Br or an NR1R2 group, an OR1 or an SR1 group, provided that R1 and R2 independently of each other stand for a hydrogen atom, a straight-chain or branched C1-C6-alkyl group, an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring with 5-6 ring atoms or a totally or partly saturated ring compound with 5 to 7 ring atoms.
Suitable derivatives of the amino acids of formula I are preferably compounds containing a free amino, hydroxyl or sulfonyl group, for example the derivatives of 3-aminoalanine, ornithine, lysine, serine, threonine, cysteine and homocysteine.
The finding and selecting of a peptidic linker molecule with binding specificity for keratin-containing material suitable for the purpose of the present invention can be accomplished by known methods and is trivial for a person skilled in the art.
The peptidic linkers and masked amino acids suitable for the present invention can be prepared by known methods or obtained commercially, for example from ORPEGEN Pharma, Heidelberg. For example, a peptide of the desired chain length of, for example, 10 amino acids can be synthesized by routine methods, for example by the generally known Merrifield technique.
The choice of amino acids that are suitable for the synthesis of the peptide preferably depends on their charges or on the arrangement of charged side groups and/or of amino acid side groups capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Among such amino acids can be mentioned, for example, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, histidine, tyrosine, threonine and lysine.
Moreover, suitable peptides can be identified by the screening of phage peptide libraries (also known as “phage display”, for example according to Devlin, J. J. et al., Science 249, 404-406, 1990) and by possible further optimization thereof by the “cosmix-plexing” method according to WO 98/33901.
The peptides that are suitable as peptidic linker molecules and have sufficiently high binding affinity for keratin-containing material can be selected by known methods, for example, by bringing a keratin-containing material, preferably hair, in contact with at least one linker-effector combination according to the present invention. This can be accomplished, for example, by immersing a hair sample into an aqueous solution at room temperature (20 to 22° C.) at a pH in the range from 5 to 6, the solution containing a combination of a peptidic linker and a colored effector molecule (for example, 6-[(4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino]-(2S)-2{[(1,1-dimethylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino}hexanoic acid). After an exposure time of about 2 to 10 minutes, the binding of the effector molecule to the hair can then be determined by wash-out tests with a common hair-washing agent (shampoo).
The binding affinity for the keratin-containing material of the peptidic linker molecules that are suitable for the invention is not critical. According to the invention, appropriate are peptidic linkers showing specific binding to keratin-containing material in aqueous solution at a pH in the range from 4.0 to 8.5, preferably from 5.0 to 6.0, and, in comparison with a sample with, for example, a simple hair dye without peptidic linker, withstands at least four common hair washings with a conventional shampoo without an appreciable loss in efficacy.
The higher the affinity of the peptidic linker the stronger is the adherence of the cosmetic agent in question to the desired site of application.
By selecting the peptidic linker according to its affinity for keratin or keratin-containing material, the cosmetic agent in question will adhere to the site of application more or less strongly so that with the present invention the effector molecules in question can be bonded with varying strength, fastness or permanence. It is thus possible to prepare cosmetic agents which in terms of retention time are quite differently adapted to the individual requirements.
As already stated, the term effector molecule includes substances that exert a cosmetic action on the surface of an animal or human body, particularly substances with dyeing or coloring, cosmetic care-imparting, conditioning, protective, hardening, softening, repairing and/or reconstituting properties.
Suitable effector molecules for the present invention are mainly cosmetic-care providing and/or conditioning and/or protective substances which on the skin or body appendages, particularly hair, are known to be able to exert hardening, softening, repairing or reconstituting activity.

To the agent of the invention may be added other substances, auxiliary agents and additives not attached to the peptidic linker, for example those commonly used for cosmetic products in general. Such materials include, for example, thickeners (for example clays, starches, polyacrylic acid and the derivatives thereof, cellulose derivatives or alginates), further hair and skin care materials (such as sugars, proteins, lanolin derivatives, vitamins or provitamins, e.g. biotin vitamin C, tocopherol or D-panthenol), antigrease agents, inorganic or organic acids (for example lactic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid or phosphoric acid), preservatives (for example para-hydroxybenzoate esters), nonaqueous solvents, antioxidants (for example tocopherols or the esters thereof), dyes and fragrances or perfumes, UV light-absorbing inorganic particles or pigments or micropigments, particularly metal compounds or semimetallic compounds in ionic, nonionic or oxidized form. The pigments can be in this form either individually or in admixture or as individual mixed oxides or mixtures thereof, including mixtures of mixed oxides and pure oxides. Examples are the titanium oxides (for example TiO2), zinc oxides (for example ZnO), aluminum oxides (for example Al2 O3), iron oxides (for example Fe2O3), manganese oxides (for example MnO), silicon oxides (for example SiO2), silicates, cerium oxide, zirconium oxides (for example ZrO2), barium sulfate (BaSO4) or mixtures thereof. Suitable pigments or micropigments are commercially available. An example is Hombitec® L5 (INCI name: titanium dioxide) supplied by Merck.
Basically, those skilled in the art know which additives, auxiliary agents and carriers are used in hair and skin cosmetics so that the following statements are only of an exemplary nature and are intended only for further explanation of the present invention. Moreover, the reader is referred to the abundant literature describing the general composition of cosmetic preparations and which is well known to those skilled in the art.
The additives, auxiliary agents and carriers can be used in the usual amounts known to those skilled in the art and can be incorporated by methods in themselves known.
Before application, the first component, namely the peptidic linker, and the second component, namely the effector molecule, are linked to each other forming the high-affinity cosmetic agent of the invention, the finished commercial product possibly containing other common constituents, auxiliary agents and carriers.
The cosmetic agents of the invention can be in the form of different formulations known for cosmetic skin and hair products. For example, they can be in the form of shampoos, lotions, rinses, dispersions, emulsions, gels, cream gels, creams, suspensions, sprays, aerosols or foams.
The present invention will now be explained in greater detail by means of a dye as the effector molecule.
Step 1
6.15 g (10 mmol) of Reactive Red 2 (based on 100% pure dye) and 2.0 g (11 mmol) of D,L-lysine hydrochloride were dissolved in 30 mL of water, and the pH was adjusted to 9-9.5 with 30% sodium hydroxide. The solution was then heated to 40° C. and stirred 6 hours while keeping the pH and temperature constant. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and 5-((4-((5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)amino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino)-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylazo)-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid disodium salt was made to precipitate by addition of methanol in an amount commensurate with the crystallization.
Step 2
The moist product from Step 1 was taken up in 20 mL of water, 20 mL of 30% sodium hydroxide solution was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. After 6 hours, the mixture was cooled, carefully acidified to pH 4.5 with acetic acid, and 5-((4-((5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)amino)-6-hydroxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino)-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylazo)-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid disodium salt, (formula III) was made to precipitate by addition of methanol (about 40 mL). Filtering and drying gave 5.8 g of dye in the form of a red powder. The λmax value of the dye in water was 544 nm.
##STR00003##
Step 1
6.26 g (10 mmol) of Reactive Blue 19 (based on 100% pure dye) and 2.7 g (11 mmol) of N(alpha)-BOC-L-lysine were dissolved in 30 mL of water, and the pH was adjusted to 9-9.5 with 30% sodium hydroxide. The solution was then heated at 90° C. for 6 hours while keeping the pH constant at 4.5 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction product was then made to precipitate by addition of methanol (about 40 mL). Filtering and drying gave 5.4 g (71% of the theoretical) of 1-amino-4-((3-((2-(((5S)-5-(((1,1-dimethoxyethoxy)carbonyl)amino)-5-carboxypentyl)amino)ethyl)sulfonyl)phenyl)-amino-9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydro-2-anthracenesulfonic acid sodium salt as a blue powder.

2.0 g (2.6 mmol) of the compound from Step 1 was stirred in 10 mL of hydrochloric acid (concentration: 1 mol/L) for 2 hours at room temperature. The dye was made to precipitate by addition of 20 mL of methanol. Filtering and drying gave 1.4 g (82% of the theoretical) of 1-amino-4-((3-((2-(((5S)-5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)amino)ethyl)sulfonyl) phenyl)amino)-9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydro-2-anthracenesulfonic acid sodium salt as a blue powder. The λmax value of the dye in water was 598 nm.

Step 1
1.86 g (10 mmol) of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and 2.7 g (10 mmol) of N(alpha)-BOC-L-lysine were heated in 30 mL of acetonitrile at 90° C. for 6 hours. The batch was cooled to room temperature, and the acetonitrile was distilled off. This gave 4.1 g (99% of the theoretical) of 6-((4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino-(2S)-2-(((1,1-dimethylmethoxy)carbonyl)amino)hexanoic acid (formula VI) as a bright yellow solid residue.
##STR00006##
Step 2
3.2 g (7.8 mmol) of the compound from Step 1 was stirred in 10 mL of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (concentration: 3 mol/L) at room temperature for 3 hours. At the end of the reaction, the dye was made to precipitate by addition of 20 mL of diethyl ether. Filtering and drying gave 2.1 g (95% of the theoretical) of (2S)-2-amino-6-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)hexanoic acid (N-6-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-lysine) (formula VII) as a bright-yellow powder.
The lambdamax value of the dye in ethanol/water (1:1) was 412 nm.
